These things are nasty, they hit for 1-3k on plate and quickly. They can also shout to increase their dps by 50% and cleave. Absolutely dangerous but not a problem for for t4 level tanks. They also at a low life level split into two, a bear and rider.

These mobs first appear in a group of two as the 2nd wave before the 1st boss (bear boss).

These mobs cleave for ~4000-6000 and they do a roar which increases damage they deal by 25% and damage you take by 25%. This can can stack if you tank them too close together... that means they will be doing 100% more damage to your tanks. Keep them split up, the range on the roar is only about 15-20 yards. When brought to ~25% the mobs dismount off the bears, the troll becomes enraged dealing 25% more damage, and the bear has a clean aggro list and goes after the healers.

So the best way to deal with this mobs is to split them up, call out the roar (if your tanks aren't too geared), and be ready to pick up the bear when the troll dismounts.

just make sure ur tanks remember to keep up demo/thunderclap esp just after the split (thunderclap is a great way to grab them both once they split). I know a lot of tanks dont bother with it on trash if they are well-geared but I am t5-t6 geared with about 19k buffed armor and got cleaved for 5k and hit for 2-4k like 5 times in a row just as they split last night and I died (luckily they finished em off like 3seconds later). Also, like many other mobs and bosses in this zone, druids have a much easier time tanking these.

edit: Also, one thing to remember that may help prevent messy pulls on these mobs is that they will criss-cross each other while running down the ramp (or towards you if you are on the 2nd pull with them). So make sure to mark them or remind the tanks that if they call the 'left' one, by the time it runs down the ramp it will be the 'right' one :).
